Singer/songwriter Carrie Lynn Van Winkle stops by for a chat. She grew up in a deeply religious, yet highly musical family. She tried a number of instruments before getting a guitar from her dad with a cryptic post-it attached. She shares her first introduction to pop music (buckle up), her struggles as an unchallenged high school student, giving up her dream of attending Juilliard College, rebelling by NOT playing music, and her decision to go back to school including attending Glendale Community College focusing on music. We talk about how the Chicks With Picks organization made her the artist she is today and we listen to two of her tunes "Safe Bet, Sweet Plan" and "Crash."
